Subject: Request for Feedback – Leadership Practices Inventory
Hello,
I’m excited to share that I’m participating in a leadership-development program to strengthen my personal and team leadership. As part of this process, I’ll be completing the Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI), a 360° feedback tool. I’ve chosen you as an observer to provide honest, constructive feedback that supports my leadership growth. Below are a few key details to help guide your participation:
What is the LPI?
A 30-item leadership assessment measuring how often I demonstrate specific leadership behaviors on a 1–10 scale.
When is it due?
Please complete the assessment by May 11.
How long will it take?
About 10–15 minutes to complete, with an optional comments section at the end.
Will your feedback be anonymous?
- Yes, all observer feedback is anonymous.
- The only exception is the manager’s feedback, which is not anonymous.
How do you complete the assessment?
You’ll receive an automated email from the LPI system (notifications@lpionline.com) with your personal link and instructions.
Anything to know before starting?
- Each question asks how often I engage in a specific leadership behavior.
- There is no “not applicable” option—all items apply to every leader.
- Please confirm you’re evaluating the correct person before submitting.
- The system times out after 45 minutes—consider drafting comments elsewhere before pasting them in.
Thank you so much for your time and thoughtful feedback; it truly helps me continue growing as a leader. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Hello,
I’m currently participating in a leadership re-assessment as part of my continued development. This process includes completing the Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) 360° re-assessment, a 30-item tool that gathers feedback from others to help me reflect on my growth and changes in leadership behaviors since my initial assessment.
